Hi Jimmy,
That's close to the next item on my list: Repair
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method:

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from:

| Thanks, I've tried all the advice from you, EA and my computer supplier but still can't get the Medal of Honor Games to run. Now
my 10 year old has found his new Star Wars Jedi Academy has installed but won't run on single player - gets the same 'log in with
administrator privileges'. Interestingly, it allows multiplayer use. I see from the letters that another person has reported the
same problem I have. 1. How does one get Microsoft to look at this? 2. Would upgrading to XP pro fix this? 3. would uninstalling
and reinstalling XP home work? Thanks for help.

| Hi Jimmy Mack,
|
| Those methods are to work around the problem of not
| being able to uninstall the game due to that admin error.
|
| Those methods you see will work with an account that has
| administrators status on your computer. They are giving
| you the list of files and registry keys to delete. If you are
| unable to perform those tasks, then there might be some-
| thing very wrong with the state of your Win XP installation.
